“Yeah.” Rachel had no objections.
Not far away, Gerald suddenly stood up. His gaze swept across the gathered family and friends.

head.
None of that mattered anymore. To her, sthings that could never be gained had long been given up, and she
no longer clung to them. Letting go of certain obsessions was the only way to move
forward.

few words could smooth away.
This was all he could do.
After the funeral, Gerald said to Rachel, “Rachel, I'd like to spend smore twith Jim.”
“Okay. We'll wait outside.”

Rachel felt mixed emotions. She had never imagined Gerald would leave the world this way.
